Guidance for new government and international relations students
This program assigns first-year School of Government and International Relations students a mentor who is further along in their study journey.
Mentors help guide our new students through university life, helping them to navigate the campus and school events, and provide study tips.
The program, which is based at Brisbane South (Nathan), aims to build friendships within the government and international relations cohort and create a more cohesive group within the degree.
How the program works
The School of Government and International Relations runs a peer-to-peer mentoring scheme for all Government and International Relations and related double degree students.
Expressions of interest for mentors and mentees are called for at the beginning of Trimester 1 and 2.
Student mentors are assigned leaders who provide peer support for new and less experienced students at university. A mentee is a student who is formally linked with a mentor to enhance their capabilities and likelihood of success in their studies. Through our student mentoring programs, mentees gain information and guidance about studying at university.
